  • 1 quart lime sherbet about 4 cups
  • 4 cups pineapple juice chilled
  • 4 cups ginger ale chilled

Equipment

  • 1 food-safe punch bowl at least 5-quart capacity

Method
 

  1. Chill the pineapple juice and ginger ale. Set out a food-safe punch bowl with at least 5-quart capacity and a ladle.
  2. Scoop the lime sherbet into the bowl. Pour the cold pineapple juice around the scoops.
  3. Slowly pour in the ginger ale; leave room for foam. Stir gently once or twice, keeping some sherbet scoops intact.

Notes

Yield is approximate: about 12 small party servings. For half a batch, use 1 pint sherbet, 2 cups juice and 2 cups ginger ale. Sherbet usually contains milk; check labels. Keep ingredients refrigerated until serving. Use only food-safe containers and edible decorations; do not put dry ice in drinks.
